All That Jazz December 10-13 on WPKN

Dear Friends and Fans,

Next week WPKN will hold a 72-hour jazz marathon fund drive. We'll have 24 programmers playing lots of America's premiere art form, and our premiums will include jazz recordings and club tickets. I'll be hosting the Monday night slot 9-midnight.

Here's where you come in. If you've ever heard our fundraising, you know we need phone helpers. If you're a fan of my program, I'd love for you to come down and answer phones during my shift. Please PM me here on Facebook, and also call WPKN to sign up. The number is 203-331-9756.

Remember, we are a listener-supported community station. Even if you can't make it down to help on the phones, I hope you'll call with your pledge of support, and maybe take away one of our hip and groovadelic premium items.

Thanks and happy listening,

Dave

September 30th in Jam Band History

So many songs, and so little time, but I picked a few recordings that made history on this date and are broadcast quality. (ARCHIVED AUDIO STREAM)

• Zach Deputy; Stole My Wheels Blues; One Longfellow Square, Portland, ME (9/30/2010)
  A hilarious blues & rap detailing the circumstances of his equipment hijacking.
  
• The String Cheese Incident; Billy in the Low Ground; Mother Hall, Osaka, Japan (9/30/2005)
  A nice bluegrass stomp. Kang'd.
  
• Donna the Buffalo; Why You Want To Leave Me Baby > Revelation Two Step; Variety Playhouse, Atlanta, GA (9/30/2011)
  Squeeze box highlights this pair of tracks.
  
• JIM WEIDER'S ProJECT PERCoLAToR; Squirrels in Paris; Gerald Veasley's Jazzbase, Reading, PA (9/30/2010)
  Full-on shredding in a jazz-rock style from the former Band member.
  
• Aquarium Rescue Unit; Sittin' on Top of the World; Iron Horse Music Hall, Nothhampton, MA (9/30/1992)
• Aquarium Rescue Unit; Basically Frightened; Iron Horse Music Hall, Nothhampton, MA (9/30/1992)
  The less said about ARU, the better. Just listen and enjoy. Nobody plays like these cats.
  
• Grateful Dead; China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider; American University (9/30/1972)
  Good ol' Grateful Dead from a lesser-known show from a banner year. Enjoy!
